Question

Three main levels of neural integration operate in the somatosensory system. Which level involves the spinal cord?

a. circuit level
b. receptor level
c. integrative level
d. perceptual level

Answer 1

Answer: Circuit level

Explanation:

The processing of the information in the spinal cord involves the circuit level. The processing of the circuit level involves the transmission of information in ascending order.

These pathway delivers the information to the regions of the cerebral cortex in the form of impulses. In this way the information reaches the somatosensory organs of the body.

These impulses helps in localization and perception of the stimulus.
